Reacher Season 3 has proven to be a monumental success for Amazon, becoming the most-watched returning season ever on Prime Video and the top-performing season since *Fallout* within its first 19 days. The series follows the adventures of Jack Reacher, portrayed by Alan Ritchson, a former major in the U.S. Army's military police who wanders the United States, unwittingly stumbling into trouble. Reacher is renowned for his prowess in combat and his sharp intellect, making him a formidable force in solving mysteries and confronting villains.
In Season 3, Reacher faces a new challenge in the form of Dutch giant Olivier Richters, who stands at an impressive 7 ft 2 in, dwarfing even the towering Ritchson. This season introduces a thrilling dynamic as Reacher encounters an opponent who matches his physical presence.

According to *Variety*, Reacher Season 3 attracted a staggering 54.6 million viewers globally in its initial 19 days, nearly enough to cover the expansive back of Alan Ritchson himself. This figure represents a 0.5% increase over Season 2's viewership during the same period, indicating a growing fanbase for the series. The show's appeal isn't limited to the U.S.; over half of its audience hails from international markets, with significant viewership in the U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
For comparison, *Fallout* amassed 65 million viewers in its first 16 days in April 2024, while *The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power* Season 2 drew 40 million viewers within 11 days of its August 2024 premiere.
IGN’s review of Reacher Season 3 awarded it an impressive 8/10, noting that while the season strays further from its source material than previous ones, it showcases a more ruthless Reacher and remains a highly entertaining experience.
Looking ahead, fans can rejoice as Reacher Season 4 has already been greenlit even before Season 3's debut, ensuring more adventures with the iconic Jack Reacher.
